Next up is another Midwest summer tour opener, this time the 1988 summer tour's first show on 6/17/88 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From that show, which preceded the four very hot show at Alpine 6/19-23, we have the entire recorded portion of the first set, featuring New Minglewood Blues ; Row Jimmy ; Far From Me ; When I Paint My Masterpiece ; Althea ; Victim Or The Crime. I mention "recorded portion," because the show-opening Bucket>Sugaree was not recorded to the board master. Worth noting here is that is the first ever live Grateful Dead performance of Victim Or The Crime.

Be sure to stop in next week for more music direct from the vault to your ears. Thanks for listening, and we'l look forward to seeing you next week. As always, we encourage you to write to vault@dead.net with any questions or comments about the Tapers' Section, or anything else Grateful Dead-related.

88, that althea before victim is real fine, the victim, wow, the best victim I ever heard was Ratdog 9-21-2001, real meaning there,
Brent too heavy handed again on far from me
Black Peter from 85, sweet, IMO Fall 85 was a better tour.

My first Alpine run of three. I enjoyed this run. Listening to it recently I thought, even if it doesn't have the jams or the spectacular setlist of other Summer 85 shows, it still has the energy. A good listen.

Some of the better playing from Garcia from that tour. He sucked during most of it.This one has lots of great MIDI work. A fine show all the way around.

1988 . . . I am trying to get into it. Just can't seem to find much inspiration there. Lots of competence and the new songs . . . but to me one of those years where they were putting in their time, climbing toward another peak.
